found




While moving files around I 'found' the one at right, 
thought it was lost: I overlaid aerial clouds on a Sukhothai
statue; above left apsaras in a Lao temple, 

this old heart beats

tuk-tuk



This is the way to get around in towns across asia.
They are usually vividly painted, quite uncomfortable,
& cheap. The one below has thatched houses on
the middle panel, like the house behind it.

mist & rain



A friend drove me to an appointment in another town,
 I could photograph the shapes through 
the windscreen. It's unusual for here.

multiples



Multiple buddhas in most temples throughout asia,
endless variations,
 You could say its the vernacular imagination,
but/& some are great works of art.

shadows



I love how shadows work, don't you?
Metaphors.




A different message than what it covers.

mekong fish



I saw some very primitive fish in the market in Laos,
nothing as large as in the painting, but I did wonder 
who would know if it was the last of it's kind.

photos of photos



Many hours in past days sorting my photos
into different categories. While I'm there, I save some for this
blog, I'm interested to see whether I've used them before,




&/or used them in the same combinations. No real reason,
except to see how it is. These are in Laos & Thailand.
